Re: [Simmons Drums] Is this an SDSV?

2014-07-02 by jesper

If it's "just" the pad that is wacko, I'd open it and check if the piezo 
element has died. Piezos are cheap and easy to find. They basically 
generate a voltage that is larger if you hit harder (i e louder).

Don't trash anything 'cause it's dead. The electronic parts inside a pad 
can easily be counted. 1-2-3?

If you mean that there are problems at the other end (verifying this 
with other pads etc) it can be trickier, but everything can be repaired. 
It's not rocket science.
